Duncan Edwards

Duncan Edwards is editor of Disability Horizons, one of the UK's leading disability lifestyle publications. He brings to the role something no editorial brief can manufacture: a life lived close to disability in all its complexity. His wife Clare, an artist and designer, co-founded Trabasack after sustaining a spinal injury that made her a wheelchair user. Her experience reshaped how Duncan understands independence, adaptation, and what it means to design for real life. Their son Joe lives with Dravet syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy — a condition that has given Duncan an unflinching awareness of how healthcare, support systems, and everyday products either serve disabled people or fall short of them. That awareness drives his editorial instincts. Disability Horizons exists to inform, represent, and advocate — and Duncan ensures it does so with honesty rather than sentiment. He's less interested in inspiration than in accuracy, and more concerned with what disabled people actually experience than with how the world prefers to imagine them. He doesn't edit from the outside looking in.
